In a message posted on his X account, Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s longstanding position in favor of diplomacy while criticizing the US’ contradictory behavior and insincere rhetoric.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always welcomed, and continues to welcome, dialogue and agreement,” the president said.
“Bad faith, blockade, and threats are the main obstacles to real negotiations. The world is witnessing your deceptive verbosity and the contradiction between your claims and actions,” he added, addressing the US officials.
